Previous: Angular Velocity and Acceleration
In analogy with linear motion, when the angular acceleration,
, is constant, we have:
-
|
=
|
t
| (8) |
-
|
=
|
t + t 2
| (9) |
-
|
=
|
2( - ).
| (10) |
In the above equations, and are the angular
position
and angular velocity of the rigid body at t = 0 . These can be
compared to the analogous formulae for linear motion, namely
Eqs.(2.5)-(2.7).
